Too Lovely by Beatie Wolfe

Release Date - July 1st 2013

Go say goodnight to the bats, that
Sleep in your closet, under all your hats,
Close the coffin door, before
There’s a chill in this room, and we can’t get excited

Curl up in the space next to me,
He said to me, you were my friend, my enemy
But can’t you see, it was all just fictional, wasn’t it?
It had to be

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her

Play dead in your head, there ain’t no lions there,
Stroking your face, licking your hair,
Go to that place, and forget that you love it,
Because it’s so wrong

Make up a speech, to preach, when they expose you,
Your face all made up, and make out,
It’ just delusion, a big confusion
(There is no truth it in)

And with every creak that this floor makes
It tears the hearth, it breaks the stake,
Until we’re just living prisoner’s of each other
Doesn’t it make it harder?

So in dismay and in disguise,
We bow our heads; we close our eyes,
Wishing that forgotten song had sang on
For a least one more chorus
